I have made gmjhowe a moderator of the chat room. He has agreed to act very professionally, and to remind people of the be nice policy, if necessary. Please return the favor by keeping the dialog constructive, productive, and pleasant.

Thanks!

hi i have a question. do someone know instructible our a sight about how to build some sort of rfid or radio transmitter that can be activated by an cell phone and then tracked from a computer or something.
my neighbors atv got stolen yesterday and i don`t want my to get stolen and a new system is far to expensive so i was going to build one my self nut i don`t now how.
please help me:)
Kiteman in reply to bk-bearJun 8, 2013. 6:03 AM
Hi, bk-bear,

I can't help directly, but there are people here who can. You need to do two things:

1. Use the search box at the top-right of the page.

2. Start a new topic in the "technology" forum, so that the right people see your question. This topic is *about* the chat room, it isn't a chat room itself.

See: http://www.instructables.com/edit/new?type=forumTopic&categoryGroup=all&category=all

Hello everybody, I have a question. I have a spy gear video remote control RC ATV Tank I got off ebay and it works ok, I was able to view it on my old sony vaio desktop through gigapocket if anybody is familiar with that. But anyway the video comes in pretty good but the tracking is off a little. I opened it up and turned a few pots but to no avail. anybody have any ideas? It has a thumb know on the side of the controller which I believe was for this tracking but it does nothing. Do you think replacing that might help?

While some may find their music very soothing to them in most cases it is not only annoying but distracting as well. In my case whenever I view an ible and hear music being played I immediately close it. Either one is presenting a musical ible or a tech ible. Make up your mind.
Kiteman in reply to logicrulesJan 28, 2013. 4:04 AM
Are you moaning about the sound-tracks on people's videos?

If so, you picked the wrong topic - this is a topic about a chat-room that works off-site.

I suggest you start a new topic, as I do not recall the subject being raised before.

caitlinsdad in reply to sharlstonFeb 11, 2010. 12:52 PM
Something going on with mibbit that freenode did not like so it banned connections from there.
NachoMahma in reply to sharlstonFeb 5, 2010. 11:51 AM
.  That's why I didn't give you a link to Mibbit. ;)

PKM in reply to xACIDITYxJul 5, 2009. 5:40 AM
I believe the IRC channel have blocked the Mibbit web client because too many spammers were using it, or something like that. I found an alternative web client a while back but that also got blocked (for "racism"). I suspect the web client channels the traffic to the IRC channel through a particular IP or IP range, which was blocked for someone being racist on it so now the whole web client doesn't work. The easiest solution is to install a client on your computer, like mIRC or Pidgin or something.
paqrat in reply to PKMAug 4, 2010. 11:08 PM
tried to get to the chatroom through mirc but kept getting diconnected. Said a software disconnect but I've been on two other servers tonight with no problems. Does the channel not like mirc either. I think it was attempting to join through port 7000. Could that be the problem? Mirc listed the freenode server in its server list
Derin in reply to PKMJul 15, 2009. 1:24 AM
Here is a webchat from Freenode themselves:

Berkin in reply to DJ RadioJun 23, 2009. 8:47 AM
Aha, I have the same problem!
caitlinsdad in reply to DJ RadioJun 20, 2009. 11:04 AM
It's a bug which needs to be fixed. Try http://webchat.freenode.net as a web workaround.
Enter username and #instructables for the channel.
Berkin in reply to caitlinsdadJun 24, 2009. 9:58 PM
After a bit of research, I found out that Freenode closed connections to Mibbit due to abuse. The alternate URL is timing out as well, so that makes the IRC useless.
Derin in reply to BerkinJul 15, 2009. 1:25 AM
<iframe src="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=instructables" width="647" height="400"></iframe> If an admin adds this,it will work.
Berkin in reply to caitlinsdadJun 24, 2009. 7:47 PM
It's timing out.

(You'll get more people saying hello if you start a new topic (see the Submit button at the top of every page, or the New Topic button at the top of the list of topics), or join in the actual chatroom).

Hello people of the chat room! Here is what is working for me. The first one works. You enter your gender and age and then your in. Too chat you will need to enter a user name. The second one, mibbit, doesn't work. It just says "terminated". Don't use it. The third one works the best. Just enter in a user name and your in. Hope I could help!

‮One more thought:
I did not cause the chat to be reversed in the first place.  I just simply looked it up and fixed it...  And fooled around a bit...  I try to put my toys away after I used them....

I bet the reason why the chat no longer appears is due to the fact that only pro users can edit the HTML of a post. <a style="margin: 0px;" title="view Instructables Robot's profile" href="../../../member/Instructables+Robot/">Instructables Robot</a>, doesn't seem to be a pro user...<br />
